Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford, was born some time before 1125 and, according to the Hereford Cathedral Book of Obits, died on 22 September 1155. He was the son of Miles de Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford and Sibyl of Neufmarche, the heiress of Brecon. He became earl on the death of his father on 24 December 1143 and immediately took his father's place as one of the mainstays of the Empress Matilda in the war against King Stephen. On being told by King Henry II to relinquish the royal castle of Gloucester he rebelled, only to submit almost immediately on 13 March 1155. He then fought in the royal war against Hugh de Mortimer of Wigmore. When this ended at the beginning of July he gave up his lands to his brother, Walter de Hereford and retired to Gloucester monastery where he died three months later. Possibly he had been seriously wounded in the summer fighting.
